Lamia

[Bereta_Eder]

I watched some greek film that either won a european or greek short film award

and it was amazing there was an evil chant on the island of euboia about a lamia (that would be a banshee)

the chant went

lamia lamia of brynia eat him eat him and make him dissareape
eat him eat him and spit him back up again

it is very eerie in greek

[Bereta_Eder]

lamia is the most ancient form of banhsee or witch in the euopean continent

like lilith of the jews or a f up fairy

ΛΑΜΙΑ sppoooooookyyyyy

[Bereta_Eder]

what happens was
taht up in the hills people went and they dissapread you see and only ashes were found


but later it was shown that there were huge fields of untapped lignite ( a form of wet coal) there that got ignited when it came into contact with oxygen

anyway

amazing spooky fairytale

[Bereta_Eder]

godarn it i cant recal the mystical chant

abra catrabra lamia of brinia
eat him whole and bring him back

[Bereta_Eder]

lamia is even before the vampires (another greek tale that got transported to romania in the ottoman times)

it is so very ancient

a malevoelnt forest spirit 5 times more ancient that any norh european copy ever existed

[Bereta_Eder]

lilith of the jews is the archtypical malevoent female spirit on which christian mysigynism is based


ancient greek lamia is only marginally female

it is first and foremost evil

[Bereta_Eder]

like a dark nymph

[Bereta_Eder]

Αμπρα καταμπρα λαμια της μπρινια
φατον ολοκληρο και φερτον ξανα

abra catabra lamia of brynia
eat him whole and bring him back again

spoooooooooky

and the film was realistic and spooky at the same time
